Best Hotels in Singapore

So, you’re thinking about planning a vacation to Singapore? Good for you! We couldn’t recommend it enough. Small but mighty, there is SO much to see and do here – that’s why we made it one of our top tour destinations!

Nestled at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is a must-visit for anyone wanting to explore Southeast Asia. It’s made up of the main diamond-shaped Singapore Island as well as around 60 other smaller islands.

Singapore is in the equatorial monsoon region of Southeast Asia, which means that it is pleasantly warm all year round (so remember to pack your sunscreen) but depending on the time of year you visit, there is a chance of showers and humidity. Don’t let this stop you though, the showers are actually really cool to witness and usually pass over pretty quickly.

November to March tend to be the wettest months and May to September are the driest, so book your vacation during these months if you want to avoid the heavier rain!

The main island of Singapore has become a popular tourist destination due to its famous landmarks, vintage architecture, delicious cuisine and unique culture.

A vacation in Singapore means shopping in the luxurious Marina Bay Sands, wandering along the Helix Bridge, taking in the revolutionary Gardens by the Bay, relaxing on a purpose-built beach with a Singapore Sling in hand and getting amazing shots for your Instagram while you’re at it!

What’s more, our private tours in Singapore mean you can experience all of this completely stress-free! Our private tours offer the true VIP experience with your own personal driver (and photographer for the day) to show you around in style. We even offer a walking tour in Singapore, which is an incredible way to see the country – even if we do say so ourselves!

So, now we’ve sold you on all the amazing things there are to see and do in Singapore, it would only be right for us to share some of the best hotels in the country so you can get planning your trip! Here are our favorite Singapore hotels that will help make your vacation the best one you’ve ever had.
